"batch files" like bash scripts? Look in your system directories for some. A quick Google search found http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ and there are many others.
Or do you mean IBM mainframe batch programming, like with JCL? I've never had to deal with that system. That domain isn't really part of the free/open source culture and I can't find a good source of example programs. Lots of IBMers also use REXX, and there are 71 projects on Sourceforge in REXX ( http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/?&fq%5B%5D=trove%3A17... )
Or perhaps you mean DOS batch programming? I hear that Windows is moving towards PowerShell. However, I know about as much of this field as I do JCL.
